Picnic, party, and sunshine!

Last week, our Developmental Disabilities Program celebrated Memorial Day with our colleagues from Melwood at Patapsco Valley State Park!

We spent the day in scenic nature, connecting with each other over picnic treats and lively music beats.

A big thank you to our Meaningful Day Program team for organizing such a wonderful event!

This , we're proud to celebrate Katie!

Katie has always been passionate about linguistics and languages.

“I’ve always loved languages. I like picking up languages. When I find someone new and find out they speak a new language, I try to talk to them,” Katie said.

Now, as a short-term participant in Humanim's Evidence-Based Supported Employment program, she is taking steps to turn that passion into a career.

During , we are proud to highlight the stories of individuals who are not only navigating their own recovery but also lifting up those around them. For Jack, the path to stability was a long journey through 13 surgeries, a traumatic brain injury, and years of navigating the complex cycle of bipolar disorder.

Today, as a participant in Humanim’s Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) and Residential Rehabilitation Program, Jack has transformed his recovery into a mission of service. He has become a natural mentor within the therapeutic community, using his own experiences to guide others.

“I have to help the next guy because I got helped,” Jack said. “I take that very seriously. If I can give even one inch of what I’ve been given, I will do that all day. Without that component of giving back, I don’t think I could be me.”
